This “guide” is really much more than the title might suggest. It is part star atlas, part descriptive text, part telescope primer, and part strategy session, all held together with the infectious enthusiasm of its author.

Whatever size telescope you have, however, the point is not to just look for an Arp galaxy, but to observe the unusual structures produced by galactic interactions, gravitational tidal forces, and inherent dynamics. To help you identify these structures, the guide provides detailed diagrams of each Arp field. Learn More
